Hemp has lots of health benefits!

Hemp Foods Australia’s Hemp Seed Oil which is sometimes known as Hemp Oil is high in Omega 3, 6 and 9 also including GLA and as the name suggests it is made from the Hemp Seed. In fact, Omega 3 and 6 are in just the right ratio that we humans need. One tablespoon of Hemp seeds contain over 7,000mg of Essential Fatty Acids.

Hemp Seed really isn’t something new as it has been consumed all over the world for thousands of years. These little seeds are loaded with essential nutrients which don’t require to be cooked or soaked. In fact I understand the Hemp Seed to be the only seed that doesn’t require activating to obtain the best nutritional benefit.

They are very sustainable as no pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers are needed. So no chemicals, isn’t that wonderful!

Hemp:

* Is naturally low in carbohydrates
* Is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids, in fact higher than any other foods
* Is made up with the complete Amino Acid Profile
* Is the only plant to make protein from Edestin. (Edestin is a highly digestible and optimum form of protein. It is a crystalline globulin obtained especially from hemp seed that contains all 10 essential amino acids.)
* Contains 15 times as much fat-fighting Conjugated Linoleic Acid as fish oil.
* Is a great source of cholesterol-fighting Phytosterols.
